The facts at hand presumably speak for themselves, but a trifle more vulgarly, I suspect, than facts even usually do.

The dropoff has continued:

Did thousands of people who used to click on Jihad Watch articles from Facebook and Twitter suddenly on February 10 lose interest? Of course not. This is what happened: Facebook and Twitter are censoring Jihad Watch as “hate speech,” in accord with assurances they recently gave to the European Union that they would stop tolerating such speech.
